The opening of the book sets the scene for discussing the majestic
beauty and historical significance of Durham Cathedral, positioning it as a remarkable structure in both England and on the European continent. Bygate outlines the early history of Durham, from its origins in the ancient kingdom of Northumbria to the introduction of Christianity in the region.
